10 Ombre Hairstyles for Medium-Length Hair

8. Silver-blonde with shadow roots and beige balayage on wavy medium bob

Shadow roots, just a few tones darker than the main color are an attractive new trend. And if your natural color is dark-blonde, you can just leave them natural and add the bleached balayage lower down. There’s a beautifully balanced mix of warm beige and cool silvery-blonde accentuating the loose waves in this haircut. And straightened ends add edgy style to a fabulously sophisticated, but casual bob.

9. Ultra-fine babylights on straight fine hair with blunt cut ends

Babylights are delicate narrow highlights applied in vertical lines for a bright color change. They are especially successful on fine hair, adding thicker texture to your hair. And as the colorist applies very fine highlights over a larger area, they can be used to lighten your whole head, without looking like a flat, all-over dye job. And although babylights are more expensive than other balayage options, they do last a lot longer!

10. Two-tone medium blonde roots under cool white balayage on fine hair

Here’s a trendsetting new look that’s great for medium and fine hair. Instead of shadow or dark roots, this colorist has introduced medium golden blonde roots. And we love the softer look this creates. It’s also a new way to mix warm and cool colors and invent a totally new hair color design. So this is really a silver-blonde balayage over golden roots and I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of this fresh idea!
